Executive summary:

The study using the capillary method was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test item according to OECD TG 102 and in compliance with GLP. The test item was observed to turn completely black and decompose at a temperature of approximately 340 °C. No melting was observed below 400 °C, the upper limit of the apparatus.
